In Charleston, S. c., the cradle OF Sc
cession,' though that ''city by the sea-
has been wrecked by earthquake, the ex-
Confederate soldiers and others are con-
tributing money for a fund for the benefit
of the widow of the late Gen. John A..
Logan. It was started with the following
letter from an old Cor tolerate soldier -
"CHARLEsToN, Dec. sS.-To tile Editor
ofthe Meas and Courier I see by the pa
pers that the widow of the late Gen. Logan
has been left in impecunious circumstances.
Gen. Logan was hard fighter against the
South during the war, and even after the
war, but the generous way in which the
whole nation rushed to the aid of the cradle
of secession after the recent earthquake
has obliterated from my mind the imagi-
nary line which divided the North and
South. Inclosed 1 send $25, which I beg
the News and Courier to use as nucleus
for a fluid to be contributed by Confederate
soldiers and other Carolinians for the widow
of the late John A. Logan, the Union war
rior and statesman.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY s, 1887.
A Convenient Dodge.

In the absence of the least merit which
should entitle party to direct the govern
mert or to manage the public affairs Of the
people, the leaders and organ-grinders of
the factions, mastering under the Republic
can name in Virginia, betray their empti-
ness and expose their insincerity on every
hand. There is no consistency in their
avowals of policy or expediency, and they
manufacture all kinds of vagaries and
hope by creating confusion to regain for
partizan ends the power from which they
were driven. Shutting their eyes to the
real needs of Virginia at this critical juno
ture of affairs they do not even express
wish to see her pass safely through the
ordeal that threatens her existence as a
Commonwealth worthy of the name. They
revel in the troubles and perplexities their
own Vaccinations have in large measure
produced, and then dodge the responsibility
by asserting that Democrats and Demo-
cratic legislation are the obstacles in the
way which prevent the creditors of the
settlement of the State debt. 1t is unneces-
sary to repeat that the measure which has
been twice accepted by the Democratic
party in issues before the people, and con-
CURED in by the popular voice as a settle
ment and public policy will not now be
set at naught by that party. There is no
opposition worthy of the name to the Rid
dleberger settlement except in the studied
and designing purposes Of Republican
journals and partizans. But for them, and
the course they have chosen to pursue,
there would be practically but one senti-
ment with the people in regard to that
matter. Whilst dodging the issue they
have helped to force on the State, these
marplots assail the legislation Republi-
can Governor asked for, and make every
difficulty they can to defeat the Democratic
party in honest efforts to secure the accep-
lance of the settlement by all who hold the
obligations of the State. Such action springs
from the lower layers of q purpose to make
trouble, and it is so recognized, if not
plainly admitted. The zealots who asked
for coupon-killers, are now striving to
render the coupons master of the situation,
no matter if thereby the State be killed
With,the confusion and general wreck which
they are willing if not DESTROYS shall cone
to pass, is the hope that thereby the spells
of office will enure to their party-a suf-
fcient reason of it's kind, and belongs to
the motives which always govern men who
care not for results, and dismiss consistency
as unworthy Of place in their vocabulary,
if it shall stand in the way of accomplish
ing their ends.

New-YeaP Resolyes-HOw TO Keep Them.

Now, On the threshold Of new year, We
leave moralizing and sentimentalizing to
others, and will simply say that it is our
earnest hope that those who have made re-
solves of reform of vices and evil habits
will have the frmness to keep them in
violate, and we hope that many have made
such resolves. though the poet Young
says that MEN resolve and re-resolve and
die the same" yet no one should be dis
couraged, or be prevented from making
such resolves; but should resolve with the
more determination to keep inviolate their
VOWS of reform. To abandon an evil habit
is easy enough when the party resolves,
without any men al reservation, to Go So
it only requires will and honesty. But
there is little hope of success if the resolve
be made with mental reservation, or g
lingering hope that at some indefinite time
in the future indulgence can again be graft
fed. The only true and safe way is to bid
farewell to the habit forever-"never, go
never" to be resumed again. This will
cut off all the heads Of the hydra, and
make you free indeed.

A Bride At Fourteen.
YOUTHFUL NUPTIALs IN SPARTANBuRG.

COLUMBIA, S. G., December 27.-Society
circles in Spartauburg are excited over the
clandestine marriage of Miss Susie Walker,
the feurteen-year-oldd daughter of the Mayor
of the city, and Guy Harris, youth of six
teen, on Christmas night. The young lady
went to social entertainment, under the
escort of another young man. There she
met her affianced, and when the party
broke up at 1890 A. NJ, the youthful low
ers started out in search of a clergyman to
to marry them. Two ministers to whom
they applied refused to perform the cere-
mony. At about 80 O'Clock an accomo-
dating notary public was found, who
promptly tied the nuptial knot. The new
ly-wedded pair had just reached the home
of the groom's parents and were sitting by
the fire, when the anxious father of the
bride, who had been appraised of what was
going on, burst in upon them. A scene
followed, and the weeping bride was torn
from the arms of her youthful husband,
and taken home. Her mother and sister
tainted when they heard of the occurrence
As the child wife is said to be kept seclud-
ed at her fathers home, the final outcome
of the affair is anxiously awaited.

CREAMERIEs IN VIRGINIA.-The States
Washington correspondent some months
ago inter liewed United States Commission
er Colman on the subject of creameries in
this State, and the result was most inter-
esting, Instructive and encouraging letter.
Mr. Colman was at the head of the cream
cry Industry in Missouri, and he therefore
speaks on this subject from the standpoint
of practical, experience. He says it takes
time in sections where grasses have to be
cultivated for dairy farming to pay, bat
that with capital, industry and patience,
this industry can be made profitable in al
most every county through which rail-
road rams. He gave it as his opinion that
some sec ions of Virginia were particularly
well adapled to dairy farming.
The press of the State is taking up the
matter in earnest, and farmers clubs are
discussiu.; the matter intelligently. The
crsameri,s already in operation in the
northern counties of Virginia and in the
Valley are showing excellent results.
Il is hoped that score or two of new
creameries will be started in Virginia next
spring. Virginia's Commissioner of
Agriculture is thoroughly informed on this
subject, and he will take great pleasure in
answering inquiries addressed to him.

Cincinnati Friday evening on the South, in
which he told Of the great importance of
that region. Massachusetts, he said,
sis just one thirty-sixth as large as Texas.
which is only one Of the Southern States.
The entire South is more than 100 times as
large as Massachusetts, It's capacities ale
immense. The soil, if properly titled, is as
fertile as any in the country, while the
forests are fully as valuable rs those of the
extreme Northern States Besides the
netals-gold, silver, tin, zinc and copper,
which are found in greater or less abund-
ance-iron and coal are there in great guam
titles. Iron can be produced in Alabama,
shipped and sold in Pennsylvania cheaper
than Pittsburg iron, despite Pittsburg's
advantage in having natural gas. There
is immense capacity for development, both
of wealth and inhabitants -

plantation in Louisiana. A letter from the
South tells how kind he is to the poor peo-
pie who live in his vicinity. s'He gives
half the butter, milk and eggs he raises to
the poor people about here, says the writ
er, ''and God knows they need it badly
enough. This is in addition to gifts Of a
much more substantial nature that he makes
to such as deserve them. His extreme lib
erality, kindheartedness and good nature
have caused him to be looked upon down
here as little less than ministering angel
and from what hear, he deserves to be SO
considered.''

there over the narrow escape of respecta-
BILE citizen from being buried alive, Henry
Weichman, aged forty five, who had died
suddenly, was being lowered into the grave
when his weeping son cried out: 81 must
see father once more something tells me he

was granted, and the lid of the coffin was
removed The body was found to be warm

the supposed dead man slowly regained

pistol, marched him to the lookup. If such

WHAT ATToRNEY-GENERAL AYREs SAYS
IN REGARD TO 1T.
Attorney General Ayers was asked to-
day by the reporter what he thought of the
letter of w. B. Cluverius, brother of Thos.
]. Cluverius the condemned murderer, to
the members of the Legislature requesting
them to send to him an application address
ed to the Governor requesting him to
grant reprieve to T. J. Cluverius until
some day fter the Legislature shall meet,
in order that they may have an opportunity
of taking ction if deemed right and judi
cious.''
In reply the Attorney General said that
he did Rot know of any law by which the
Legislature could take any action affecting
the execu ion of the sentence, as the Gov
ernor alor's has the power to pardon or
commute .py sentence of a criminal. The
Legislative department is as separate and
distinct from the Executive department as
the Judicial department. The Legislature,
if it saw fit, could only adopt resolution
requesting the Governor to pardon or COM
mute the sentence.
Attorney General Ayres concluded by
saying that several years ago the members
of the Leg islature as individuals signed a
petition 10 Gov. Kemper for the pardon of
Col. w D. Coleman, who was convicted of
felony and sentenced to the penitentiary.
The petition was submitted to Gov. Kemper
and it hal no more effect than the petition
that had been signed by other citizens,

A Brilliant Marriage Scene.

On Wednesday night the Presbyterian
church was the scene of one of the most
brilliant marriage events which has trans
pired in our midst, the contracting parties
being Miss Sallie Overton Rosser, eldest
daughter of Gen. Thomas L. Rosser and
Mr.. Campbell Darlington Cochran of Pa
latka, Florida, formerly of Charlottesville
and son of Howe Cochran, Esq. A covered
archway was erected from the street to the
church. This covered way was lighted with
Chinese lanterns. Quite a number of pews
were removed from the front portion of the
center row of seats to make room for a
raised platform in front of the pulpit.
This and that portion of the church back
Of and embracing the pulpit, were covered
with white canton flannel. This whole
portion of the building was most beauti-
fully decorated with holly, laurel and bloom
ing flowers, interspersed with tropical
plants. The bridal party were preceded in
entering and retiring by six prettily -attired
little girls bearing baskets of flowers who
entered first upon the stand arranging
themselves on either side forming the outer
row of the group. Then entered the groom
elect accom- panied by his best man, Mr.. N.
II. Massie. Jr., and took position a little to
the left of the minister; next entered the
ushers who filed off on either side. The
bridesmaids entered arm in arm and sepa-
rated at the stand, the one on the left cross
ing to the right and the one right crossing
to the left arranging themselves in line
just in front of the ushers. Last entered
the bride upon the ann of her father pre-
coded by her first bridesmaid, Miss Cole
man, of Canada. The groom coming for
ward receives his bride and leads her in
front of the altar, the first bridesmaid tax
ing her position on the left of the bride and
''the best man. to the right of the groom.

beautiful one. by Rev. G.. L. Petrie, the

RESIGNATION OF CHAs W. BUTToN.-In
reference to the resignation of Chas. W.
Button, as Postmaster at Lynchburg, the
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun, under date of Dec. Goth, says
''Mr. C. W. Bntton, formerly editor of
the Lynehburg Virginian, sent his resigna-
ton as postmaster at Lynehhurg, through
Representative Daniel, and Mr.. Daniel has
placed his letter of resignation in the hands
of the Postmaster General. Mr.. Button
was rejected by the Senate at the last ses-
sion at the instance of Gen. Malone, who
submitted various slips from the editorials
of the Virginian speaking in sighting terms
of several prominent republican Senators.
After the adjournment of the Senate, the
President, as in the case of Recorder Mat
thews, of this city, recommissioned Mr..
Button as postmaster, and sent in the nomi-
nation again at the beginning of this sea-
son. General Malone, it is understood,
has made personal matter of the case, as,
it is said, have all the Senators who were
attacked in the editorials referred to, and
several democratic Senators have lately ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Button would
again be rejected. He therefore concluded
to resign, and it is said Mr.. Daniel will
shortly present the name of a proper person
as his successor. Postmaster General Villas
said this afternoon that Mr.. Buttons re-
signation had not yet been accepted, and
would not be until some suitable person
had been determined upon for the place."
